January 16-17. 3 rounds. PDGA B-Tier event. George Shaw runs this great Savannah event.Who's else is going???? Field is capped at 90 players.I heard that there are new gold tees for Pro divisions and a sweet looking elevated basket now on the par 5 hole #4.Should be a fun weekend.

We had the same thing happen in 06. It rained so bad that week and the morning of the first round that we didn't finish the second and had to start it back up on Sunday. It changed from a 4 round to a 3 round tournament, but at least we got home sooner on Sunday.

Yeah, hopefully that will get fixed. I got to enjoy Bootsies second round for 13 holes of random throwing and breaking of the rules repeatedly before he finally quit. I wish he would have either finished or quit on the second hole but the fact that we had to deal with that for 13 holes and then he quit was very anger inspiring.

Darn I missed another installment of Bootsies Blow-ups. I really would like to move to pro to be in Bootsies group. I want to see the antics up close and personal like that time he beat the ever-living crap outta that tree on 2 at erp. And then their is the time when he took a limb and repeatedly smashed 10's basket. Also when we played a round together and he made us start over 3 times on hole one just to move to hole 10 to start over two more times so he could start with a par. I parred all the shots until the seventh time when he finally did, i took my bogey and moved along.

Bootsie this is for you (although you most likely will never read this). Please continue to spend your money on these tournys and quit. It really makes you look like a jack hole bro. You obviously don't care. Your emotional intelligence is that of a seven year old. Are you serious? No really man, wtf is wrong with you. If we happen to play in a tournament together and you act like a child again I will deal with you accordingly(w/o the immediate knowledge of the td).

They have it up like everyone played the same tees. What a joke. Make us play that ridiculous crap,in that ridiculous crap, and they cant even remember we played them long enough to put the scores in correctly. Be sure and bring LED lights if you ever plan on playing this, because they will make you play in the rain at night for 30 minutes until your last hole, but stop now you have to finish your round in the morning! You also might want to bring a life-jacket because you have to wade through the fairways.

It's like that almost every year, but I still go back. I loved the configuration last year. Those new tees are jank and I hope they don't use them in the future. As for the river that runs through the course, not much they can do there. It does make it tough when you are standing in a foot of water trying to make a 25' putt. There's word circulating that they are going to use both courses next year. Which will help with time because then we can play foursomes with a 72 player cap at each course.

With my score? - I had fun playing OPEN with the people's champ the first round even in the rain, Had fun the second round with the Lovely Ladies of Disc golf in the afternoon deluge, and had fun playing in the 18 hole lake during the 3rd round with Matlack and Jay. I went in not really caring about score as I figured I had to play A+ to be middle of the pack anyways, and looked at this as a vacation with the family, and seeing old friends i only get to see once a year there.

So the ratings have been adjusted, and yet they have still failed to enter in all the data correctly. They still have it like the ADV Women played the long tees the last round. I doubt the pro scores will change unless they adjust rnd 2 because of the monsoon.

Congrats to Vach for the win in Sav. Also Team monkey Dust Josh and Dollar for not letting them non Ga players come in and take all the money home with them...lol Dont you just love playing in the rain.....

Bootsie = Adam Johnson... Right??

If so, Why was he even playing?

According to the PDGA disciplinary page, He is on suspension starting on 1/7/2010.

Well since the PDGA just updated that sheet on the 14th and tourney was just a couple days later I am sure that the TD nor anyone else for that matter was aware. Based on the previous disciplinary actions (found here) he was on a six month probation from 5/20/2009 to 11/12/2009 for inappropriate behavior. Apparently it became a suspension on the 14th.

red i never did anything thing that entire round except say 2 words. to most people when a person doesnt say much that usually is a good thing to those playing and second i took a penalty once when i putted a 15 foot putt that i missed for birdie that was it. all i did that round was to try to stay out of everyones way and move fast to not hold everyone up. i quit were i did cause it was back on the front and i didnt want to leave you guys in a 4 some so when i saw there wasnt anyone in front for a couple of holes and no one behind i didnt think it was going to effect the speed and hold up the group. if i affected your round please explain because i honestly tried not to . my apologizes sincerely.

It didn't affect my round for the most part. It is hard to stay focused when someone is doing what you were doing but honestly I don't have too much of a problem with that as I got used to it and blocked it out. It was bothering everyone else in the group more than me. I was just annoyed that you did that for 13 holes and then quit? I just couldn't understand why you would do that and really still don't. Our round would have been much faster if you had quit back 11 holes before when you gave up and just started throwing it around. I am glad you did at this point though because that allowed us to finish the round before dark. The part about breaking the rules is because on two or three occasions you threw a shot and then retrieved the disc to rethrow it. That was extremely annoying and against the rules to the best of my knowledge although I haven't looked it up. I have nothing personal against you and honeslty have argued for you in the past and really don't think you should be suspended or on probation or whatever anyway. I just wish you would finish the round in a legit fashion or quit early, that's all.

Don't quote me and then edit the quote! I don't care if he quits or not. That is just more of disc golf's totalitarian close-minded nonsense. Instead of trying to control whether someone quits or not how about being "open" like disc golfers have always preached. If he pays his money for what possible reason could anyone in their right mind care if he quits or not? Like I have always said disc golfers are absolutely the most close minded and controlling people I have ever been around. It is getting better but here is evidence that it's still alive and well. Nazism anyone.

Jeez buddy. You said several things in your post so I edit it to show you and others which part of the conversation I am responding to, thats all. I agreed with you about Bootsie and then said my opinions on quiting. Money or no money who wants to start playing a game with someone who quits. I want to compete against an opponent who plays to the end of the game. Let us compare scores, pay are bets, and have some fun thats all buddy. Luckily we have 70 other competitors to do this with.

It's funny how you two (Kade and Red) where fed up, not gonna take it anymore,report him violating suspension and then open a can of woopass(Kade) if he doesit again, then as soon as Bootzilla responds calmly you roll over and let him scratch your bellies like a couple of puppies. Sorry Bootsie, whether you keep to yourself orhave a complete break up, it affects the other players. Also, when you think you are keeping it to yourself, you are not. Multiple small bursts of anger are no different thanone huge one. I've experienced both from you during tournament and casual play and it's not pleasant. Now,talk amongst yourselves, I'm vaklempt!

Read my original post again grease b/c apparently you missed something. I am fed up. I will open a can and I will not report any of it. Agreeing with some of Red's sentiments is far from rolling over.

Yeah, clearly you missed a lot. I never said I was "fed up" and "not gonna take it anymore" or that I was going to "report him violating suspension." I said I was annoyed by the situation and that I didn't understand why he did what did and you read all that into it. That's just sad. I would say 99% of the time I say exactly what I think and I don't care who reads it. This thread didn't fall into that other 1%.

The problem I had Kade is that you changed what I wrote in that one line by taking out "or quit early."

When someone in a group quits, not only do the histrionics mess things up for the remaining players, but it also messes up the flow. Often they are having to wait to throw throughout the round. I guess that is just a part of golf though - having to overcome various mental aspects of the game. I guess some of us are able to handle adversity with more dignity and self control than others...
